Humpback whales and orcas hunting for the herring. A photo and snorkelling tour/liveaboard with diving in the crystal clear water and Aurora at night. Itinerary and Specifications

This journey offers to take snorkel divers (free divers) and nature photographers on an adventure trip to wintry northern Norway. Large amounts of herring gather here, attracting hundreds or even thousands of whales intent on hunting them. They provide an extraordinary spectacle of nature – but due to the cold temperatures in the air and in the water, snow, ice, limited daylight, and rough sea, it can be challenging to the spectators.

Excursions take place on a traditional Norwegian wooden fishing boat, and two fast dinghies are available to take divers to where the action is. Between dives, you can warm up again on the boat. Onboard amenities include a toilet, a small kitchen, heated lounge areas, and the possibility to store your diving equipment over night.

This tour offers snorkeling instead of scuba diving because the Orca whales will not tolerate open-circuit scuba equipment in their proximity.

You will spend the night on land in a small hotel with a good 3-star standard.
